Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lead frame surface defect detection, and in particular to a lead frame detection device. Background Art

[0002] The leadframe is the chip carrier for integrated circuits. It's a key component that uses bonding materials to electrically connect the chip's internal circuit terminals to the external leads, forming the electrical circuit. It serves as a bridge between the integrated circuit and external wiring, making it a crucial component in the industry. Therefore, leadframes must not exhibit defects such as missing material, weld marks, breakage, shrinkage, deformation, burns, and scratches, as these defects can affect their quality and service life. Currently, leadframes are inspected before shipment. They are transported via a conveyor belt to an inspection station, where a defect detection device inspects the leadframes for surface defects. Defective leadframes are removed, and qualified leadframes are removed, significantly improving the leadframe delivery yield.

[0031] like Figures 1-6As shown, a lead frame detection equipment includes a feed conveying guide rail 1, a frame 2, a conveying mechanism 3, a defect detection device 4 and a discharging guide rail 5. The conveying mechanism 3 is arranged between the feed conveying guide rail 1 and the discharging guide rail 5, and the output mechanism 3 passes through the defect detection device 4. The conveying width of the feed conveying guide rail 1 is adjustable. The feed conveying guide rail 1 includes a feed conveying mechanism 11 and a feed guide rail group 12 vertically connected to the upper end of the feed conveying mechanism 11. The length and width of the guide space of the feed guide rail group 12 are adjustable, and the width of the guide space of the feed guide rail group 12 is synchronously adjusted with the width adjustment of the feed conveying mechanism 11. During detection, the workpiece of the telescopic blocking mechanism 13 passes through the feed guide rail group 12 to reach the feed conveying mechanism 11, and enters the conveying mechanism 3 under the conveyance of the feed conveying mechanism 11. The defect detection device 4 performs defect detection on the workpiece when the conveying mechanism 3 conveys the workpiece, and the discharging guide rail 5 outputs qualified workpieces.

[0032] The feed conveyor guide rail 1 and the discharge guide rail 5 are respectively installed on the frame 2. The defect detection device 4 can select the detection machine disclosed in patents CN202021766399.1, CN202120262580.7, CN202021767476.5, and CN202021738618.5, or other types of detection equipment can be selected without specific limitation. In this embodiment, the defect detection device 4 preferably uses the detection machine disclosed in patent application number CN202120262580.7. Therefore, an automatic rejection device can be provided between the discharge guide rail 5 and the conveying mechanism 3. The automatic rejection device has been disclosed in patent CN202120262580.7 and will not be further described.

[0033] Preferably, to enhance workpiece inspection and improve inspection accuracy, the flaw detection device 4 employs dual-light source inspection. Specifically, the flaw detection device 4 includes two CCD detection devices, one of which utilizes blue light and the other utilizes white light. The workpiece is first inspected using the CCD detection device utilizing white light, and then a secondary inspection is performed using the CCD detection device utilizing blue light.

[0034] In detail, the feed conveyor mechanism 11 includes two symmetrically arranged limit plates 111, and a conveyor belt mechanism 112 is installed on the opposite sides of the two limit plates 111. The bottom of each limit plate 111 is connected to a linear module 113 perpendicular to the transmission direction of the conveyor belt mechanism 112. Therefore, the limit plates 111 can move back and forth along the linear direction of the linear module 113, and then the distance between the two limit plates 111 can be adjusted to meet the needs of conveying workpieces of different widths. In addition, the two limit plates 111 are connected to a first adjustment screw 114, and the first adjustment screw 114 can also be connected to a rotating handwheel, a drive motor or a drive mechanism for driving its rotation. The drive mechanism is not limited to a gear mechanism, a belt drive mechanism, a chain drive mechanism or a worm gear mechanism. Under the rotation of the first adjustment screw 114, the two limit plates 111 move relatively close to or relatively away from each other along the linear direction of the linear module 113.

[0035] In this embodiment, the linear modules 113 are provided in two groups, respectively connected to the two sides of the bottom of the two limit plates 111. In order to improve the distance adjustment accuracy of the two parallel limit plates 111 and prevent the limit plates 111 from tilting, a connecting slide 115 can be connected between the two limit plates 111. The connecting slide 115 is parallel to the linear module 113, and the two limit plates 111 can slide along the rod of the connecting slide 115. In order to ensure the balance of the limit plates 111, at least two connecting slides 115 are provided, and at least two connecting slides 115 are respectively installed in parallel on both sides of the limit plates 111.

In the present application, the distance between the two limit plates 111 is adjusted by the first adjusting screw 114, so the linear module is preferably a linear slide mechanism; in other embodiments, the first adjusting screw 114 can be selected not to be set. At this time, the linear module 113 can select a ball screw type linear module or a synchronous belt type linear module, and each limit plate 111 is respectively connected to a different linear module 113, and the movement of the limit plate 111 is controlled by the linear module 113.

[0039] In order to control the input frequency of the workpiece, a telescopic blocking mechanism 13 is provided on at least one side of the feed guide rail group 12. The telescopic blocking mechanism 13 includes a telescopic member 131, and the telescopic member 131 is connected to a blocking piece 132. The telescopic blocking mechanism 13 is used to control the workpiece from entering the feed guide rail group 12. When the telescopic blocking mechanism 13 is in a retracted state, the workpiece falls from the material guide space to the feed conveyor mechanism 11. When the telescopic blocking mechanism 13 is in an extended state, the blocking piece 132 blocks the workpiece in the material guide space and prevents the workpiece from falling into the feed conveyor mechanism 11. By controlling the frequency of the extension and retraction of the telescopic blocking mechanism 13, the frequency of the workpiece falling into the feed conveyor mechanism 11 can be controlled, and the frequency of the workpiece passing through the defect detection device 4 can be adjusted.

One of the connecting rods 145 is connected to a driving handwheel 148, and the connecting rod 145 is preferably a screw structure; rotating the driving handwheel 148 causes one of the connecting rods 145 to rotate, and then the other connecting rod 145 rotates through the belt 147, and the connecting plate 143 drives the first limiting guide rail 121 and the second limiting guide rail 122 to move, thereby increasing or shortening the length of the material guide space.

[0041] When there is one feed guide rail group 12, only one connecting plate 143 in the adjustment mechanism 14 may be provided. In order to better improve the input speed of the workpiece, the feed guide rail group 12 may be provided with at least two groups, and the adjustment mechanism 14 is provided between two adjacent feed guide rail groups 12.
